HealthHealth Care Information For Families Of Children With Down Syndrome by doctorsAdvice(op): 6:32pm On Feb 23, 2016
Down syndrome is a common condition caused by having “extra” copies of genes on the 21st chromosome. Those
extra genes change development during pregnancy, and they continue to have effects after birth and throughout
a person’s life. Each person with Down syndrome is unique, having some of the many possible health, learning,
and related differences that can occur with this condition.
Some of the differences in people with Down syndrome are common and visible, like the facial appearance.
Other changes are less common or less visible but can still cause problems or may need special treatments. The
“special treatments” may include medicines, surgeries, or changes in what you should expect. There are no
medicines or therapies that are needed by all people with Down syndrome. There are also no medicines or
therapies that can “cure” Down syndrome.
Your child’s doctor should be your starting point. Your child needs regular doctor visits and a few special tests.
Medical specialists may also need to be involved.

HealthPut Snoring To The Rest by doctorsAdvice(op): 8:23pm On Feb 20, 2016
Almost everyone can tell at least one joke about people who snore. But snoring's no laughing matter. According to The American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, severe snoring not only interrupts sleep, it can cause serious, long-term health problems, including obstructive sleep apnea.

For chronic snorers, the good news is that they're not alone. AAO-HNS says 45 percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25 percent are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and people who are overweight, and it usually grows worse with age.

The noisy sounds of snoring occur when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth and nose where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula. These structures striking each other and vibrating during breathing cause the sounds that keeps millions of people awake at night.

AAO-HNS attributes snoring to a variety of reasons, including excessive bulkiness of throat tissue (children with large tonsils and adenoids often snore), inflammation and obstructed nasal airways.

So what's a sleep-deprived person to do? Many doctors recommend products that relieve congestion or inflammation. For example, Z-Snore, from the "Spray" line of sublingual sprays, can help with inflammation in the nose and respiratory tract, swollen tonsils, a stuffy nose and more.

Developed by doctors, Z-Snore is a combination of homeopathic remedies that act gently and cause no side effects. It can be sprayed directly under the tongue or mixed with water or juice. The product meets all FDA guidelines for good manufacturing practices.

Snorers and their spouses report dramatic results.

"The Spray is amazing," says Melanie Doyal, 39, of Gardnerville, Nev. "My husband snores, and I can't remember the last time I had a full night's sleep without having to jab him in the side to get him to turn over and quit snoring.

"The first time he tried Z-Snore, it worked! In fact, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and checked to make sure he was still breathing."

HealthAlzheimer's Disease: Definition, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by doctorsAdvice(op): 5:02pm On Feb 19, 2016
Alzheimer's disease, named after the doctor who first described it (Alois Alzheimer), is a physical disease that affects the brain. There are more than 520,000 people in the UK with Alzheimer's disease. During the course of the disease, proteins build up in the brain to form structures called 'plaques' and 'tangles'. This leads to the loss of connections between nerve cells, and eventually to the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissue. People with Alzheimer's also have a shortage of some important chemicals in their brain. These chemical messengers help to transmit signals around the brain. When there is a shortage of them, the signals are not transmitted as effectively. As discussed below, current treatments for Alzheimer's disease can help boost the levels of chemical messengers in the brain, which can help with some of the symptoms.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease. This means that gradually, over time, more parts of the brain are damaged. As this happens, more symptoms develop. They also become more severe.

HealthWhat Is The Zika Virus? by doctorsAdvice(op): 4:41pm On Feb 19, 2016
The Zika virus is a mosquito-transmitted infection related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile virus. Although it was discovered in the Zika forest in Uganda in 1947 and is common in Africa and Asia, it did not begin spreading widely in the Western Hemisphere until last May, when an outbreak occurred in Brazil.

Until now, almost no one on this side of the world had been infected. Few people here have immune defenses against the virus, so it is spreading rapidly. Millions of people in tropical regions of the Americas may now have been infected.

Yet for most, the infection causes no symptoms and leads to no lasting harm. Scientific concern is focused on women who become infected while pregnant and those who develop a temporary form of paralysis after exposure to the Zika virus.

HealthZika Virus, Is It The New Pandemic? by doctorsAdvice(op): 4:03pm On Feb 19, 2016
Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. It is related to other pathogenic vector borne flaviviruses including dengue, West-Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses but produces a comparatively mild disease in humans. Since 2007 Zika virus has caused several outbreaks in the Pacific, and since 2015 it further spread in the Americas. These were the first documented transmissions outside of its traditional endemic areas in Africa and Asia. Zika virus is considered an emerging infectious disease with the potential to spread to new areas where the Aedes mosquito vector is present. There is no evidence of transmission Zika virus in Europe to date. - See more at: http://www.doc-advice.com/zika-virus-is-it-the-new-pandemic/
